On the Erdös–Lax-Type Inequalities for Polynomials

Abstract Erdös–Lax inequality relates the sup norm of the derivative of a polynomial along the unit circle to that of the polynomial itself (on the unit circle). This paper aims to extend the classical Erdös–Lax inequality to the polar derivative of a polynomial by using the extreme coefficients of the given polynomial. The obtained results not only enrich the realm of Erdös–Lax-type inequalities but also offer a promising avenue for diverse applications where these inequalities play a pivotal role. To illustrate the practical significance of our results, we present a numerical example. It vividly demonstrates that our bounds are considerably sharper than the existing ones in the extensive literature on this captivating subject.
